Ratings and reviews

Downloaded the app to understand and manage my spending. Unfortunately it connects to my mortgage account but not the offset account (where most of my savings and spending are). There's also missing items. Wish they would let you manually add expenses for ones that don't connect. Going to give it another week and then throw in the towel. Sad because this has so much potential.

Very useful and just what I was looking for to help with home budget. However, week 3 into using it I've opened app to discover digits and letters are missing throughout so I can't read amounts correctly. Can't use it like this, please fix.

Latest update has put app in a loop saying to upgrade from play store, but playstore already did upgrade and just has option to open app.
